that many conservatives make, by thinking that 'pro-choice' exactly equals 'pro-abortion'.  In many discussions I have had with women, most of them are not necessarily in favor of abortions so much as they are opposed to others (mostly conservative white men) legislating what their choices on the matter are.  That's what 'pro-choice' means; in simplest terms, don't force your views as to what is right or wrong on this issue on me!  This doesn't mean they automatically favor abortions, they just very strongly (and rightly in my view) feel that others' values on this matter should not be imposed on them.
